Would you mind explaining how, given the text below you seem to think a conditional discharge doesn't equate to a police record? You're just the kind of cowboy operator that we're better off without. I assume you're going to tell us the MCGA are liars?

It's a very poor excuse for a human being that hides behind laws and loopholes.

Conditional discharge linked to 6 month suspended sentence! All spent with no convictions during that period or thereafter. Therefore no record.

It must also be remembered that we have an impeccable safety record. More as a result of experience and common sense of the team rather than clipping a clothes peg to our nose and bathing in health and safety bollocks!

sorry to spoil things, but the very fact that you where arrested in the first place means you have a criminal record. the only difference being is you will not have to state you have one after your conviction is considered spent, unless what ever it is you are applying for i.e. jobs or visa to visit usa then they are exempt fron the act and have to be made known. once anyone is arrested then a record exists forever. trust me look it up send for your crb file. will cost 10 pounds.

Well, I never did hear back from Jorgen as far as I remember, but it seems that Rupert Bonham-Smith (or Rupert Smith as he prefers to be called these days) isn't happy about this thread and wants it removed.

Quote:

Dear John,

Following my previous correspondances I would ask one more time that the thread be removed.

This is for several reasons:

Firstly it lists my full address which is a breach of the data protection act.

Secondly I had no contract with Jorgen on this issue as I gave the item to my girlfriend to sell.

Cutefleur69 is not my ebay account and never has been. If you would check with ebay you will find its the account of Fleur Antoine.
As result its incorrect saying cutefleur69 aka as its not me.

You might want to also remove any reference to evil edna with me as if you check this fictional storyrefers to Rupert Baynham and not myself.

I have been in discussions now with no win no fee libel lawyers who are willing to sue for defamation and breach of data protection act.

Frankly I do not want to waste time and energy going through the courts so I hope very much you will kindly remove this.

I would ask that this be done within the next 10 days or I will issue court summons to seek that it be removed.

I trust this wont be necessary

kind regards

Rupert Smith

Now, I like to think that I'm a reasonable person and I don't want anyone to be unhappy, but there has to be a balance somewhere.

Looking back through the thread, I see that the contact details which were published are no longer in the public domain (they were from a whois record which has now expired) so I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for their removal. I have now deleted them.

As for the rest, I am sure that everyone will be reassured to hear Rupert's side of things and can make their own judgement about the Ebay/Paypal issues if they are interested.

For anyone mystified by the reference to Evil Edna, it wasn't actually mentioned in this thread, but was obliquely referred to in the epic Deauville Rally thread of 2005.
